AQIP Pathway Eight-Year Cycle

Institutions on the AQIP Pathway undergo the following reviews in addition to the regular monitoring that occurs through HLC’s Institutional Update, substantive change requests, interim monitoring and other processes. To determine where an institution is in the eight-year cycle, find the date of its next reaffirmation in the institution's Statement of Affiliation Status. This date is Year 8, and the preceding academic years correspond to the previous years in the cycle.

Understanding the Comprehensive Evaluation

The comprehensive evaluation that occurs during the AQIP Pathway includes a Comprehensive Quality Review, a review of Federal Compliance Requirements, a student opinion survey and an on-site visit by a team of HLC peer reviewers. The evaluation may also include a multi-campus review, if applicable.
